Midwifery Group of Ottawa

Midwifery Group of Ottawa We offer midwifery care for pregnancy, labour, birth, and postpartum period. We care for both mother We also appreciate the ongoing help of our local consumers.

The Midwifery Group of Ottawa was established in 1994 after the Regulated Health Professions Act was passed. We recognize here the importance of the incredible consumer lobbying effort prior to legislation. Midwives work within a specific scope of practice as primary care givers, are regulated by the College of Midwives of Ontario, and are covered for the cost of services by the provincial government. We have grown from four to more than ten midwives working together now. We are a teaching practice. As such, you can expect to meet a midwifery student from either the Midwifery Education Program or the International Midwifery Pre-registration Program when you enroll for care with us. There is almost always a waiting list at our group; the need for more midwives is strong all across the province. Our midwives deliver approximately three hundred babies each year; about a third of these births are in the home setting. We have hospital privileges at the Montfort Hospital. We are strong believers in a woman’s right to make responsible, informed choices regarding all aspects of pregnancy and birth; we advocate for the appropriate use of technology; and we provide continuity of care for everyone throughout pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum. The events of the childbearing year are both profound and intimate. We respectfully guide the family through these times to promote a satisfying and meaningful experience.

🤰Is Tylenol safe during pregnancy?

With so much misinformation circulating in the media , it is important to come back to the evidence .

Both the SOGC and ACOG consider acetaminophen (Tylenol) SAFE to use in pregnancy.

❗️Untreated fever or pain in pregnancy have known risks for both the pregnant person and baby.

Talk to your midwife if you have questions - informed care is empowered care 💛

Check out the full SOGC position statement for more evidenced based information.

You have not only been a midwife but truly an angel by my side during one of the most precious and delicate times in my life.
